In Reply to: RN versus MT, which would involve the most money to be made. I am not sure if I want to go into RN - Angela Rae
I was an RN and I hated it. Horrible hours, awful doctors with egos, patients who have no respect for you, etc. People who are RNs do if for the love of helping people, not money.

You would be making a huge mistake....sm
...by even wasting one second of your time with OSi. There's plenty on these boards to back up my opinion.
But, if you are seeking that first year experience, I suppose OSi should be considered.
Good luck!
Have worked for both. I am back at Keystrokes after making the mistake of leaving for Accusis.
My pay at Keystrokes has always been much higher because they seem to never run out of work. Accusis is mostly offshore, which is a negative to me. Ask Keystrokes to match the rate, I bet they will if you forego the review in 90 days. I will never leave again!
making money
I meant to say that I'm frustrated not making money where I am working, and wondering if it is possible to make money at Breitner?
Why are you not making money?
Is there no work?
making money
I'm not working for Breitner at this time. I'm working for T. I have work. I simply hate everything about this company.
I've read the posts about not getting paid at Breitner, but has this happened recently?
Is there a good paying job with good benefits anywhere?
Thanks for the answers.
And that's the BIG one - will keep you from making money. Isn't that enough?

End up making less money one way or another.
Might as well settle for less money, because by the time the companies send you the ****** work, you will end up making less money anyway.
Sometimes I wish I only did clinic work -- I think I could make just as much as doing this VR left-over acute care.
Doing VR and making money
Everyone can flame like they want but I have noticed on here that people are sitting and waiting for work, end of the pay period. if you got a decent account doing VR plus regular mixed in with it, you would be amazed at what you can make. I am not management, am not being a cheerleader for any particular company but what I am saying sitting and waiting on a particular place to have work sometime in the future is just crazy. I know everyone says they are not doing work they were not trained for but to stay around and stay in this particular kind of work, it seems to be going that way towards VR. I was trained for regular straight typing with transcription and now I really hate to do straight transcription work. It can be done and everyone on her complaining of no work should really find a place that suits them and where they don’t have to worry about not making a living.
Making money at UST
I worked there a couple of years ago and at that time it was like any other company, had good times when there was a lot of work and other times where it was very slow for awhile, but I haven't worked there for about 2 years. I agree with the poster above about the pros and cons, but would have to disagree with the president being a sweetheart. I did not have the same experience as the above poster did, but other than that the poster was dead on about the pros and cons.
So the company is not making any money???
The oil companies tell us they are not making any money either! Wonder how they can all manage to stay in business.
Are you making good money there?
I'm very happy there. Making more money
than I've made in a very long time. QA nice but tough. Excellent insurance that is very affordable.
It is like people who are not making money get mad at the ones who are....
doesn't make sense...I love working for Keystrokes...make good money, leads are fantastic and I have great accounts...
Compared to what I'm making now, "a lot of money"
Do you REALLY believe the MTSO is making more money off VR? Did it
occur to you that they are charging the client less because they have to? Please don't make comments like that unless and until you actually know what you're talking about.
There are MTs making this type of money.. It's just too bad that you cannot fathom it! nm

Anyone making more money with national company than (sm)
when you worked for a hospital, taking into account the benefit package you had with the hospital? If so, any explanation as to how you are doing better or worse would be much appreciated.
Like I said before...you start making decent money
and they find a way to keep your line count down. After 8 years of this BS, I'm looking outside of transcription.
Note about the MTs making lots of money - sm
I, too, routine make lots of money in this field. I have to laugh at the naysayers. They can't see how it is possible. Well, it is. The jobs are few and far between but they are there. I have made $$ on accounts with and w/o gross line pay, actually more money on the one w/o the gross line. Depends on way too many factors to be able to put down here. Here are a few:
1. I work hard.
2. I am an excellent MT.
3. I do not go on message boards, surf the net, answer the phone, do laundry, etc. when I am working. I get in the zone. Nothing interrupts me.
4. I never settled for mediocre pay. I searched and searched for the companies I knew I could make money with.
5. I've been doing this a LONG time and know my stuff.
6. I am extremely organized.
7. I went to college for MT and worked in-house for a long time before working at home. This in itself is a HUGE key to knowing your stuff.
The people who make good money at MT are kind of like people who have lost a lot of weight. Everyone wants to know their secret. Well, there is no secret to either. Both take a lot of hard work and know-how. There are no gimmees in life; you have to search it out, work your butt off to achieve and work hard to keep it. No one said it was easy. Life is hard. It is what you make it.
Build people up instead of tearing them down. Be glad for people who can achieve. Learn from them. That is how you grow as a person.
Good day!
Glad you are happy. You making good money there? sm
as well?
I am still making good money with a natl. Not giving up yet. Just need about 10 more years and I a

It is the only place I have been for 5 years that I feel I am not being ripped off and making money
I work hard but I did for the other companies too and bit by bit more things were stripped away and I would end up making half again. Keystrokes has given me confidence again, and I am making money. That is the name of the game, that is me though. I love it here.
I had a hard time making money. Nice people though! nm

FUNNIEST THING..they all think you're making all this big money (LMAO) -nm
I am curious about the amount of money I am making at this time. I make around $700 every week and
I am wondering if this is average or if I am selling myself short as an IC.
I'm with them. Good work environment, easy accounts and I'm making really good money. nm
Amherst so we make less money and they get more money for MQ and bigger bonuses. Our guidelines came
from Amherst.
The company takes the money out of your salary, before they cut the check. It is your earned money,
:+
It's about "money, money, money, mmmoonnney. Singing The Apprentice song.
:{
Ok - here ya go. I went from making $1800 per pay period to making just under $900.
Is that significant enough for you? Believe us, we are not just being negative with a grudge or anything like that. This is real! A month later, I was gone from there fast!
My mistake. It was MDI-FL. sm
They called me back yesterday finally and found out that it was MDI-FL. I was offered the position which I gladly took. The funny thing is that Transcend has the account now that my previous employer had and was taken away and given to Transcend. I am crossing my fingers I will get on that one (although not holding my breath either). The line rate seems good. The schedule is what I need. So we shall see. So far so good.
mistake
Yes. Mistake made. Windows Vista not compatible with a lot of MT software. Go to Microsoft.com and find what IS compatible, by manufacturer's name.
its a mistake. This was before
this is a mistake..if you check the dates it was before the layoff..
My mistake...
It was not Keystrokes, it was a different company in Illinois on the list that was no longer in service. Just one of those Monday moments on a Thursday!
Big Mistake :-(
Anybody else ever think they figured it out, schedule wise, and end up leaving a company for another one and then realize they made a HUGE mistake? But it is too late because the doctor that you transcribed was already given to someone else.....
I was working for a great company!!!! One that, for some reason, will occasionally get some bad reviews here.... which I do not understand why.. had a baby, had to leave one company (as I was working for three) and let go of the wrong one!!!! But was too stressed out at the time, when making my decision, to realize it.
I wish I could do a system restore on my work situation and set myself back to when I was with that company working on my favorite doctor!!!!
yep, gotta spend money to make money. NM
.
So does yours. Perhaps you need a basic money class to learn to keep money. sm
I am off today and appalled at reading the posts on here.
Are you always this bitter? Do you have a family and friends who are safe and healthy? Count your blessings instead of being so angry and you might see that this is not a bad field to be in. It has kept food on my table for 27 years and will continue to do so. Is it harder now? You bet, but it is not impossible to make a good living of $50,000. You just have to work hard, give it your all and appreciate the good companies that are out there.
If I were an MTSO, I would find out who all these people posting such bitter posts are and find replacements for them a.s.a.p. Negativity spreads like poison, and with the world in the state it is, we should bond together not make it worse.
Money is not the root of all evil, the LOVE of money is. nm

I made a BIG mistake. SM
I was working for this great company who only required 2000 lines a day and had a very flexible schedule. I couldnt handle the 2000 lines a day in addition to my other position and had to quit. Then a little later, asked if I could have another chance. She gave me this chance and then, again, it was too hard for me to keep up with all the work.
Now I am on a different schedule with school starting again as well as other circumstances and this would just be the perfect scenerio for me. The 2000 lines a week.
I have been searching for other companies that might have this type of position available and have failed to locate one. Do you think it would be completely wrong of me to ask, yet again, for another chance? Or would I be coming off too nutty. :-)
Just asking for opinions. Go ahead and tell the truth. If you think I am a nutcase, go ahead and let me know. LOL. Just want pure honesty here.
Also if anyone else has ever been in the same position as I, I'd love to hear about it. At least I would know I am not the only one.
It was a mistake and not a huge one...
GET OVER IT! The poster said they were sorry about the mistake twice now (I wouldn't have after the first time), and it's not that big of a deal anyway! What are you this guy's wife/mother/sister or something? I can't imagine getting so upset about a post about some guy you worked with that again was a MISTAKE?
Take a Valium or 12 and settle down, LOL You keep calling someone out for making a small mistake that's is not going to hurt anything or anyone and who already apologized twice! Plus, your getting yourself frazzled over nothing.
My mistake. You are correct.
So, did the REAL KS recruiter post those messages?
Learn from my mistake
Do not go to work for Robin Hall. To this date she still owes me over $800 and I can't reach her in any way. Phone, IM, e-mail, cell... nothing.
Can you tell me why? I really need to know, I can't make another mistake.

DSG website mistake? sm
DSG website has a link to a website called MTIA saying it stands for Medical Transcription Industry Association. When you click on the link it takes you to a place that is a website for Missouri Tellecommunications Industry Association!! Is this an honest mistake or a scam? Lots of people probably wouldn't even check the links.
Just wondering.
Please don't mistake me for the spelling cop, but (sm)
You stated that the QA people are supper helpful too... Does that mean that they'll drop in around 4:30 p.m. and start getting dinner ready for me too? LMAO!
is her mistake of posting on the sm
wrong board of such significance that it disrupts your life? Good grief, have you nothing else to do?
Alex-Med -- did they make a mistake in their ad?
The line rate begins at 2.5 GROSS for an IC position... It doesn't say whether it is for transcription or editing?
That doesn't sound right.
Not bashing, just wondering.
Oops, my mistake....yes, TSSC is in SC...

I made a mistake, geez! sm
I thought I WAS posting in the correct spot on the board. My experience WAS with the guy I mentioned in my original post. I thought it was the same name as the OP stated ... the names are VERY similar (only a couple letters off) so it was an honest mistake. I never would've posted if I hadn't seen it and been curious whether it was the same guy, so there would never have been a post for me to put elsewhere. Man, oh man. Much ado 'bout nothing.
I apologized and corrected it, but my experience remains the same with the person I originally referred to (again, sorry it was not the OP's guy) and I didn't say anything that is going to sully anyone's reputation one way or the other to any great extent. He might very well be a great guy and I never said he was anything less! Even if it HAD been the same guy the OP mentioned, I would never take anything on these boards with anything more than a grain of salt, and I would investigate and draw my own conclusions before deciding for myself.
I should've double checked the name before posting, and for that I have apologized and continue to apologize. I didn't realize it caused such an uproar behind the scenes. It's not like I said the guy was a murderer or something - just that he sounded like a salesperson! LOL
Did you look in your spam folder to see if there by mistake?
No I am in Oklahoma. For the MT who says she did not get her line count, you need to look in your spam folder of your email. When I first started I was not getting mine and it was in the spam folder. Please try that and if your truly did not get your line count, have you contacted Raul, or Tonya, or anyone and asked why. If you did what did they tell you. This truly is a wonderful company if I can help please email me at sheryl.cantrell@gmail.com I promise to help in any way I can.
Sorry, but Jester is a pretty bad mistake
I'm not laughing. I'm horrified.
